From the Editor's Desk
In the movie 'Tamasha', Ranbir Kapoor's character struggles to cope with a mediocre corporate job and yearns to be something his heart and his girlfriend tell him to be - a storyteller. He creates his livelihood and achieves fame through a unique theatre musical format. He carves his own destiny. How many of you are stuck in boring corporate jobs? How many of you wish to break out and follow your dreams? Now's the time.. Give careful thought to what you want to do though and give it a 5 year window. Anything less and you haven't given yourself enough of a chance. Do something you enjoy, else you will give up in the trough of sorrow! I founded TradeBriefs 4 years ago and now we have a great team and it's something worth talking about. In its journey, TradeBriefs almost died, then got funded, then almost got acquired, then stuggled again and is now stable and growing well! - Comment
